ln the :weompnn'ying drawings, which illuutrute my invention and form a part of thin ajweitiruiion, Figure 1 is a front-view partly in ehu ntion and Jiartly in section, of

u journul box eonutruete in accordance with my invention. Fi it is a central vertical mit cotton theret ytrough von the line limit of Fiji. l. Fig. :t is n top plan view thereof. Fig. is u front elevation of the rollur block removed. Fig. is n plan view thereof,

und, Fig. tl is n jwrujwetive viewy of the duitl and dirt gourd.. ln tluprin-tient embodiment of my mvention, l provide u 'onrnal box oomprinny;`
